On a point of order, we had, before the session was adjourned, two nominations. There are no provisions in Standing Orders for nominations to be withdrawn. Indeed, the Standing Orders state expressly, at 8.2,

‘If there is an equality of votes between the two candidates a further vote by roll call must take place.’

The language could not be more express or mandatory. It may be that Leanne Wood, and Plaid Cymru Members, no longer wish to vote for Leanne Wood, but she was nominated with her agreement, and, surely, it would be in order for Standing Orders to be applied, as expressly stated. If they do not wish to vote for her, then they abstain, or they may vote for Carwyn Jones, but there is no provision for anyone to withdraw a nomination once made. It expressly states in Standing Orders that that vote must take place.
